Your ipod touch got water in it. How do you fix it?

Answer 1

Ensure that the device is switched off and any cables that were connected are removed. The device should also not be turned on till the water damage on the ipod has been repaired. The buttons should also not be pressed either.

Next, remove the SIM card and gently wipe with a dry cloth or paper towel. It is then necessary to dry the device itself. For this, use a hair dryer on a low setting and blow the hot air onto the iPod to get rid of any excess moisture. A high setting blowing out very hot air can damage the device. Not advised!

Then, place a small cup full of rice into a plastic bag and then put the device into the bag. The rice should now soak up and additional moisture left in the device. Keep the bag partially open to allow the humidity to escape.

Usually 24 hours is enough, however, if there is still moisture present, add more rice and leave it again.

This should have removed virtually all of the water from the device and once the SIM card has been refitted, should be back to good working order.

If all the advice above fails, take it to the nearest Apple store where they will be able to advise you further.

Answer 3

If you dropped your iPod/iPhone in the sink, bath, toilet or a pool here are the steps to try to fix it without damage.

iPod-

1.) Take your iPod out of the water immediately, dry with a towel for roughly 3-4 minutes straight.

2.) Leave it in the sun for about 6 hours, or under a light (preferably a lamp) and that should help it dry.

3.) Then, take a average bowl and fill it with rice. Place your iPod touch inside the rice for 3 days.

iPhone-

1.) Take your iPhone; dry it as quickly as possible and on your iPhone there is a small speaker about an inch long above the screen, wipe it a few times until you see there is no water inside it.

2.) After that wipe the camera until that is dry.

3.) Like the iPod touch, leave it in the sun for about 6 hours or leave it under a light (preferably a lamp)

4.) Then take an average bowl and put rice inside it. Leave it for about 3-5 days (needed longer to help camera and speaker).

WARNING: YOU MUST USE THESE APPLIANCES FIRST, SHOPS DO NOT TAKE WATER AS WARRANTY/INSURANCE.

TIP: If you can see that your screen has water inside it, don't worry! it's common and the reason your screen isn't working.

I would say that the best thing to do it put it in a bowl of dry rice. This will absorb the water as best as possible and then you need to let it sit before you turn it on.

When an electronic device falls in the water, there usually is no saving it. A person can try to fix a water logged IPod by taking it to an Apple Store to replace.

If it's very recent, you should put it in a bowl of rice with a hot light over it for a couple of hours. If it's been a while you may need to contact an Apple Specialist.
